		<div class="text">
			Asyncio, Rust<br>
MongoDB (advanced storage), Qt (cross-platform GUI expertise),<br>
libp2p (modern peer-to-peer networking)<br>
<br>
I am currently developing a peer-to-peer RPC framework in Rust.<br>
While Python is my primary production tool, I explore Rust and P2P technologies to build high-performance, decentralized systems that solve complex communication challenges.<br>
<br>
Additionally, I am a power user of Generative AI tools to accelerate my development workflow. I have a deep interest in LLM architectures and have practical experience experimenting with local model deployments and hardware-level optimization.

		<div class="text">

				<b>What about Python?</b><br>
				I have deep expertise in the Python ecosystem, including Django, DRF, Tornado, and Flask.<br>
I am a strong advocate for quality code, utilizing pytest, mock, and factory_boy for comprehensive testing.<br>
My special interests include asyncio, threading, and multiprocessing for high-concurrency systems.<br>
I also have experience extending Python with C/C++ (ctypes, SWIG, Cython) and modern Rust-based extensions (PyO3).

				<br><br>

				<b>Any experience with Go or Rust?</b><br>
				Python is my primary battle-tested language with extensive production history.<br>
I have practical experience with Go (Golang) from my tenure at Fetch.AI.<br>
Rust is my current area of intense R&D; I use it to build performance-critical extensions and my P2P RPC pet project.

				<br><br>

				<b>Troubleshooting and debugging?</b><br>
				I consider deep troubleshooting one of my core strengths. I excel at pinpointing root causes in complex, distributed systems.<br>
Whether it's an elusive asyncio race condition or a Kubernetes infrastructure mystery, I enjoy the "detective work" required to provide long-term fixes rather than temporary patches.

				<br><br>

				<b>Do you use AI in your work?</b><br>
				Yes, I integrate AI into my daily workflow for rapid prototyping, debugging, and brainstorming.<br>
I also explore the engineering side of ML, having experimented with local LLM deployments to understand their resource constraints and operational requirements.

				<br><br>

				<b>Workflows and Methodologies?</b><br>
				I am accustomed to Agile environments (Scrum/Kanban) and thrive in collaborative teams.<br>
I value high-quality code reviews and technical excellence. While I prefer self-documenting code, I have experience writing custom load-testing scripts to ensure system reliability.

				<br><br>

				<b>What about Linux and Open Source?</b><br>
				Linux is my daily driver and "second home" for over 12 years. I am highly proficient in server automation and configuration.<br>
I am also a community contributor, having spoken at "Open Source Day" events about the benefits of the Linux ecosystem.

				<br><br>

				<b>SQL experience?</b><br>
				Mainly PostgreSQL with Django ORM and SQLAlchemy. I am comfortable with complex joins, window functions, and query optimization.<br>
I use EXPLAIN ANALYZE to identify performance bottlenecks and tune indexing/memory settings.

				<br><br>

				<b>NOSQL skills?</b><br>
				I'm a big fan of MongoDB and have extensive experience with Redis for caching and messaging.
				<br><br>

				<b>Languages I speak</b><br>
				Russian, English (IELTS overall score: 6)
				<br><br>

				<b>Remote? Relocation?</b><br>
				Open to remote and relocation opportunities worldwide (visa sponsorship required).
				<br><br>

				<b>Mentorship?</b><br>
				I have experience mentoring developers, including running intensive Python courses for C++ engineers.<br>
Topics covered performance optimization, MPI, and extending Python with C-modules, culminating in successful practical projects.

				<br><br>

				<b>Any management experience?</b><br>
				I've served as a Project Manager for a Digital Signage startup, managing a team of 3 developers and handling direct customer communication.<br>
Though the project was paused due to external funding issues, we successfully delivered a validated prototype approved by investors.
